Beaumont Families,

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on the safety at Beaumont, for all students.  Yesterday, it was brought to my attention three students who are not Beaumont students have threatened retaliation as a result of the fight among students last week.   We have taken action on this threat to involve the PPS Security Department, Portland Police and The Administration at the two schools where the students attend. I am working closely with my supervisor, Karl Logan throughout this process.

As a result:

• Students involved in the incidents will receive discipline according to the Portland Public Schools Student Handbook and Discipline Guide.
• Students who have made threats towards Beaumont students are being trespassed from the Beaumont campus. We are working with their school Administrators and the Portland Police to address the unacceptable behaviors of students who are not enrolled at Beaumont.
• We have increased daily hallway monitoring at Beaumont.
• We are reviewing and adjusting the lunch supervision.
• April 11th, students attended an Anti-Bullying assembly for which a follow up plan will be developed. This plan will be completed by the Beaumont Climate Committee to reinforce the concepts taught during the assembly throughout the month of April and beyond.
• Starting Monday April 16^th, we will have a campus monitor on site. This is an additional adult on site to monitor the campus.
• We are requesting additional presence from the School Resource Officers throughout the school day.
• We are also requesting presentations related to Cyber Bullying and Safety from the School Resource Officers with the Portland Police.
• We have a newly assigned Restorative Justice Coordinator, Rachel Bruneau who has been assigned to Beaumont for the remainder of the year. She has recently sent home a letter to parents. It will also be uploaded to the Beaumont website.
